Change seems to be the only constant in Pakistan cricket as star batsman Babar Azam returned as the white-ball captain ahead of the T20 World Cup, replacing Shaheen Afridi.
Ravichandran Ashwin has condemned Indian cricket’s “fan wars” and called for an end to the booing of Hardik Pandya.
Star batter Babar Azam was on Sunday reappointed as Pakistan's white-ball captain, two months ahead of the T20 World Cup. Babar replaces fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi as the T20 captain. The pacer has been removed after just one series which Pakistan lost 1-4 to New Zealand in January. The decision to reinstate Babar was taken after a unanimous recommendation from the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) selection committee.
Gujarat Titans might have made a topsy-turvy start to IPL 2024 but their mentor Gary Kirsten backed Shubman Gill, and said the young captain will learn the nuances of making tactical decisions in the fast-paced world of T20 cricket. Titans, the IPL 2022 winner and the current runners-up, are now placed seventh on the table with two points from as many matches after a win over Mumbai Indians and defeat against Chennai Super Kings. "It's a fast game. You are making tactical decisions on a regular basis. It's not like Test cricket where it unfolds over a long period of time. "I've been really impressed with the way he's conducted himself as a leader," Kirsten told the media on the eve of GT's day-game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Kirsten said Gill, who took over as GT skipper after Hardik Pandya moved to MI, has adjusted to his role well.
Babar Azam was named Pakistan's white-ball skipper on Sunday, four and half months after the batter had stepped down as their all-format captain following their World Cup debacle in India.
Following his side's loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Faf Du Plessis said that the wicket was two-paced in the first innings, causing players to struggle a bit with their batting. With a scintillating batting display, the Kolkata Knight Riders became the first team to win away from home in this IPL following their comprehensive seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
There is a big change that is about to happen in Pakistan cricket, according to a report in geo.tv. Babar Azam is set to be re-appointed as the Pakistan cricket team's T20I captain while Shaheen Afridi's tenure has all but ended. Azam will be the captain from Pakistan's upcoming five-T20I series against New Zealand, which starts from April 18, sources told the Pakistan website. Babar Azam was earlier sacked as the Pakistan cricket team captain after a disastrous campaign at the ICC ODI World Cup last year in India.
SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) produced a run fest in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Wednesday, amassing a combined 523 runs at the Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH registered the biggest-ever IPL total with 277/3, surpassing the previous best of 263 by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2013. In reply, MI gave them a tough fight with their 246/5 in 20 overs, but SRH prevailed on the night by 31 runs.
